I was lucky enough to be able to take early retirement on 30 March and intend spending much of each year now in Strandhill, Co.Sligo where my daughter will shortly give birth to her first child. This will be our second grandchild and the first to be Irish. Any Pals living in the area?

I don't live in the area, I'm about an hour and a half drive away in Mayo, but I sometimes work in Sligo. Lived there for a while about 10 years ago. Hope you like great countryside, mountains, surfing, fishing and golf. You'll be in heaven in Strandhill if you do!

Don't live in the area but when you get here and you do a bit of travelling you are more than welcome to kilkenny and its surrounds (cead mile failte) a thousand welcomes and all that blarney and congrats on the grandchild

Not really in the Sligo area, but you might be interested to know that we now have a branch of the WFA up and running in Dublin, drop me a personal message with your email address if you would like me to add you to the branches email mailing list for news of meetings and events etc. We also have a website and Facebook page you might be interested in.
